A Barbados TODAY team spoke with some members of the public about their experience.

I was at my work office in Wildey when I felt the earthquake. I was sitting sharing the table with someone and I asked them if they shook the table. They said no and we realised it was an earthquake. We evacuated the building. I am from Trinidad and we have bigger earthquakes than this so I did not panic.

I was home in Flagstaff Road and my next-door neighbour phoned and asked me if I felt the earthquake and I told her no. I was outside working so I didn’t feel anything.
Kenny Hutson
I didn’t feel the earthquake, I heard about it on the news. Around the time the officials said it happened I was on the road traversing the South Coast but I felt nothing.
